Bilateral Superficial Cervical Plexus Block to Avoid Airway Manipulation in a Patient With Tracheal Compression and Bleeding Nodular Tracheal Infiltration: A Safe and Feasible Option.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This case report describes the successful application of bilateral superficial cervical plexus block (SCPB) to avoid airway manipulation in a patient with tracheal compression and bleeding nodular tracheal infiltration. Our patient was a 65-year-old male with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and systemic hypertension who presented with swelling in the anterior aspect of the right neck, difficulty swallowing, and hemoptysis. Imaging revealed significant tracheal compression and nodular tracheal infiltration that was bleeding on touch. Due to the complex tumor infiltration of the trachea, SCPB was chosen over general anesthesia. The procedure involved unilateral SCPB with intravenous dexmedetomidine initially, followed by SCPB on the other side also to effectively manage change in surgical procedure intraoperatively. This case report emphasizes the potential of SCPB with intravenous dexmedetomidine as an alternative to general anesthesia (GA), especially in patients with difficult airways due to complex tumor infiltration of the trachea.
